Erg w/ Will Congram -  T 9:30-11:00
Open to all levels, this class is designed to help each participant use the Concept 2 ergometer as a practice and training tool for on-water applications. Through exercises both on and off the machine, participants will learn how to optimize the use of breath, posture and major muscle groups to apply power. Each class will consist of a discussion and application of technical goals, pre-row warm-up, and workout on the ergometer.

Theo Rocks the Weights -  M 5:10-6:40, W 5:10-6:40, F 5:10-6:40
While teaching the fundamentals of weightlifting, the class will focus on building rowing-specific strength, coordination and the explosive power needed to accelerate boats. Two "core lifts" each day will be supplemented w/ plyometrics & other less traditional lifts. We will cover the basics of pushing, pulling, lifting, balancing, moving & holding weights.

Strength & Conditioning w/ Pat Larcom -  T 9:00-10:00, Th 9:00-10:00
For the rower to increase strength & mobility, avoid injuries & increase boat speed. We will master barbell movements: the squat, deadlift & press. Everyone will progress individually from lifting just a PVC Pipe to Bodyweight & Beyond. Be prepared to warmup for 15 minutes using dynamic full body movements, develop strength focusing on two movements each day, then finish with a 5-15 min burner of conditioning. Learn to lift heavy (relative to your experience) and transfer it into boat speed.

Military Erg Cardio Mix w/ Sandra Cardillo -  Su 10:00-11:30
Open to all service men and women and veterans. This program provides team camaraderie, fitness and competition training. No cost to military veterans.

Circuit Training w/ Ariel Handler -  M 11:00-12:15, W 11:00-12:15
Ariel's class features circuit training that focuses on a combination of bodyweight and weightlifting exercises. All levels welcome!! The class will work on maximizing strength through short intervals as well as increasing overall endurance levels and flexibility.
